Body and Soul
Passionate Longing: Unveiling the Heartfelt Tale in 'Body and Soul' by Larry Adler
Lyrics
My heart is sad and lonely
Expressing sadness and loneliness in the heart.
For you I sigh, for you dear only
Sighing and expressing affection exclusively for the person addressed.
Why haven't you seen it
Pleading or questioning why the person hasn't noticed the emotions.
I'm all for you body and soul
Declaring a complete dedication of oneself to the person, both physically and emotionally.
I spend my days in longing
Describing days filled with yearning and contemplating the reasons for feeling wronged.
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
Expressing confusion and hurt about being mistreated.
I tell you I mean it
Reiterating the sincerity of feelings and dedication.
I'm all for you body and soul
Reaffirming complete devotion to the person both physically and emotionally.
I can't believe it
Expressing disbelief, finding it hard to accept the situation.
It's hard to conceive it
Highlighting the difficulty in comprehending the actions taken.
That you'd turn away romance
Expressing surprise or disappointment at the rejection of romance.
Are you pretending
Possibly questioning the sincerity or authenticity of the other person's actions.
It looks like the ending
Suggesting that the situation seems to be coming to an end.
Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
Expressing a desire for another opportunity to prove love and commitment.
My life a wreck you're making
Describing the impact on life, portraying it as a wreck due to the other person's actions.
You know I'm yours for just the taking
Affirming readiness to be taken by the person, emphasizing availability.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Expressing a willingness to surrender completely, both physically and emotionally.
My life a wreck you're making
Reiterating the negative impact on life due to the other person's actions.
You know I'm yours for the very taking
Reaffirming availability and willingness to be taken by the person.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
Expressing a renewed willingness to surrender completely, both physically and emotionally.
